Influence of Magnetic Field on Peristaltic Transport for Eyring- Powell Fluid in A Symmetric Channel During A Porous Medium

Abstract

In this work, the influence of transverse magnetic field on peristaltic transport of an incompressible Eyring–Powell model fluid through porous medium in a symmetric channel is investigated. No slip condition and wall properties have been taken into consideration. The fundamental governing equations; mass conservation and momentum are modelled with respect to wave frame and then simplified with help of assumption long wavelength approximation and low Renold's number. The final resulting non-linear system has been solved for stream function by adopting the regular perturbation technique. The impact of physical significance of various parameters on the stream function, velocity profile, pressure gradient, and wall shear stress is utilized in details via graphs.
